I decided to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. because of my mother's diagnosis in December. I had already registered for a 112 mile bike century and decided to create a fund raiser for the event and dedicate my efforts and perseverance to the fundraiser. I managed to go over my goal and received plenty of support from the NBCF along the way. They kept in constant communication with me and made sure that all proceeds would be going towards mammograms and research.

Adventist Health System in Portland, Oregon has been extremely fortunate to receive grant funding from the NBCF to provide low income, uninsured women with free Mammograms. Without this generous funding many women in our region would not have access to life-saving mammograms. Mammography screening saves lives by detecting breast cancer early, when it can be treated, but access remains a key issue. We are grateful to the NBCF for their support of our efforts to eliminate barriers to healthcare. We’re proud to partner with the National Breast Cancer Foundation in the fight against breast cancer!

It would be wonderful if the National Breast Cancer Foundation received larger financial donations so that they could provide even more support of health providing agencies like Adventist Health System, thereby reaching an even larger patient population. This agency is one of the most successful at improving breast health care by removing financial barriers to care!

The National Breast Cancer Foundation provides funding for a Breast Health Navigation Program at our hospital. Patients in our rural community setting have realized the huge benefit of patient navigation, particularly for women undergoing diagnostic breast imaging and interventions. Many women have been assisted through our navigation program- those without the financial resources to obtain regular screenings, those lacking knowledge about the importance of breast cancer screening, those experiencing a variety of barriers that prevent them from getting needed screening and follow-up. Countless women have noted how comforting and reassuring it is to have one person to turn to during the breast imaging, and particularly biopsy, process- a time that evokes extreme anxiety and concern for the unknown in the majority of women going through it. In addition to the navigation program, we are also able to screen women who are uninsured or underinsured, regardless of their ability to pay. Without this funding from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, we would not be able to provide this vital resource to our community.

NBCF has been a client of Gannett's for 5+ years. They do amazing work to empower women to participate in early detection programs and offer important guidance through their after the shock programs. But what really captured my heart was how they provide to the underserved and underinsured women with special programs linked to hospitals in every state across the US. We are proud to have NBCF as our client and friend.

The outreach, advocacy and efforts define the exemplary efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation as much as does the personal touch of the people behind the organization, at the direction of founder Janelle Hail. We have not found a more responsive and accessible organization that addresses the concerns of not just women diagnosed with breast cancer, but the whole host of related constituencies as well. As a sponsor, we are entering our 5th year of partnership with the NBCF, whereby a portion of sales of our wine products from our late mother's namesake vineyard, Carol's Vineyard, help to provide mammograms for women who otherwise would be unable to afford them. We're confident every year that our mutual crusade to raise awareness for the importance of early detection ~ as well as the resources NBCF provides ~ help comfort and empower women and families everywhere, and we feel fufilled knowing our personal story ~ the loss of our mother due to complications from breast cancer ~ can channel positive outcomes and great impact through the NBCF.

In searching for the perfect charity to partner with my brand, I found the NBCF. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with such an amazing charity. The NBCF's mission and drive is something everyone should align themselves with. Their growing programs are inspiring as they seek out the needs of women affected and in turn evolve to meet those needs. Their teams passion and involvement is contagious- I couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to our growing relationship in the many years to come!

Bottom line is that NBCF save lives through early detection. They have a quality Nurse Navigation program and provide mammograms for people in need. Thyey have worked with our orgnaizaiton to increasing awareness through both nursing and patient education. This is an organization that you can believe in with all confidence!
